Synopsis

After a breakup with her ex, Hannah, seventeen-year-old Saoirse plans a summer of parties, getting drunk, watching horror films and trying to forget her family troubles by kissing girls. She then meets Ruby, who Saoirse thinks may be the prettiest girl she has ever seen.

A devoted romcom fan and a believer in true love, Ruby challenges Saoirse to try a summer romance with the serious parts left out, just like in the movies. As their time together unfolds, the story asks what happens when the falling-in-love montage ends.
